My name is John Lynch and I work at the Wildwoods

I was introduced to Glenwood a few years ago
when I was invited to read a book during Read
Across America to Mrs. Haas’, Ms. Finocchiaro’s,
& Mrs. Bostard’s Pre-K classes

We had such a great time that Mrs. Haas invited me
back and suggested that I visit during my
lunch break and get to know the students...

So, once or twice a month, I joined the students for
lunch. In time, I started bringing in leaders from the
community to join me and talk to the kids... Itwas a great
way for the students to meet some really
wonderful role models from the Wildwoods!
...and before I knew it, our programchwas born...

In order to make this program grow I knew
we needed an organization to be our partner.
I thought ... Who would be a great partner,
role model, and trusted friend to our Kids,
Schools and Teachers?
Ummmm. our Local Police Department!

It took just one phone call to Lt. Chris Howard of the
Wildwood PD and President of the Cape May County
Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #7 to say,
“We’re in .... what ever you need, you can count on us.”
And so Lunch with Lynch was formed with the
CMC F.O.P # 7 a 501C charity corporation.
